Michael McNamara: Presuming that the departmental officials have looked at those legislative measures in English or Irish, the Minister of State might also provide the translations they have examined. It would be easier for us, as I could not read legislation in German, Spanish or Dutch.

Michael McNamara: I thank the Minister of State. The Minister of State mentioned that the high-risk vendor concept was enshrined in those laws, and I look forward to receiving them. Is there equally a provision in law that an appellant shall not be provided with-----

- Select Committee on Transport, Tourism and Sport: Communications Regulation Bill 2022: Committee Stage (26 Oct 2022)
Michael McNamara: To make explicit what I think was implicit in what I said, I will introduce amendments on Report Stage to remedy what I see as the problems in the Bill. I could not have introduced amendments to the Minister's amendments before seeing them. I would not accuse the Minister of State of trying to stymie that. That is not why it was late. It is important that it be possible to introduce...

- Science Week: Statements (15 Nov 2022)
Michael McNamara: I join others in saying it is good to see the Ceann Comhairle back in the Chair. I listened with intent to the debate. Many spoke about famous scientists from their areas.

Something they have in common is Robert Boyle was the seventh son of the Earl of Cork and...

Not many people in Clare even realise that there is only one full-time fire officer in County Clare and everybody else is part time, with the vast majority of them retained...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Nov 2022)
Michael McNamara: On 17 December, the Taoiseach’s tenure as Taoiseach will come to an end, at least for now. By that time, he will have been in this House as a Deputy for 33 and a half years. That is some achievement, as is reaching the highest political office in this land and it would be churlish not to congratulate him on that. My question to the Taoiseach is in his experience and in his tenure in...
- Ceisteanna ó Cheannairí - Leaders' Questions (16 Nov 2022)
Michael McNamara: This issue was raised repeatedly in the Dáil, so why did it take a protected disclosure for the Minister to meet the staff? What is actually changing? We can list out reams of statistics. The Taoiseach spoke about changes over 20 years, but the single greatest change over those 20 years has been that people in Clare no longer want to be brought to that hospital. That is a major...
